The South Korean carmaker, Kia India has announced that the newly launched Carnival has sold over 400 units since October 2024. The company further announced that the 2024 Kia Carnival has garnered 3,350 bookings, with a current waiting period of more than six months. The 2024 Kia Carnival was launched on October 4, 2024, starting at a price tag of ₹64 lakh, ex-showroom, and is only available in a single trim option, Limousine Plus.
Unlike the previous Carnival, that was on offer in India, the 2024 Carnival in India is the latest gen of the model globally. It boasts an all-new design that is completely different from the K4 version that was showcased at the Auto Expo 2023. Instead, the design is now more in line with the SUVs that the brand sells. In terms of dimensions, the Carnival measures 5,155 mm in length, 1,995 mm in width and 1,775 mm in height with roof rails. It has a wheelbase of 3,090 mm.

At the front, a wider and more dominant grille takes centre stage, flanked by vertically stacked LED headlights and L-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs). Its road presence is further enhanced by striking new 18-inch alloy wheels.
Side body cladding adds to its rugged, adventure-ready persona, replacing the van-like profile with a more dynamic and robust aesthetic. At the rear, the Carnival features Kia’s signature connected LED tail lights, reminiscent of the brand’s latest design language seen on the newer models like the updated Kia Seltos and the Sonet. These updates collectively give the vehicle a more muscular appearance rather than a MPV like stance.
